I beat White Tree Hollow; Benga gave me a shiny Dratini. FUCK YES.
I finally fill-out the Unova Pokedex by seeing every Pokemon. I get a Permit that allows me to go to a place called the Nature Preserve. In said Preserve is a shiny, interactable Haxsauros (or whatever). I catch it. FUCK YES.
The point: SHINY POKEMON FUCKING KICK ASS.
BUT WAS HE THE RIGHT COMPETITIVE PERSONALITY TYPE???
Hahah, cheers to you, I've never seen a wild shiny
Then not so many years ago, my sister found a Shiny Weedle inside of thirty minutes of starting Soul Silver.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

All the shinies I ever found legitimately (not through cheating, and not the ones you get as part of the story like Red Gyarados, Pink Dratini or whatever) were Fighting types: Machoke (in 3Gen), Medicham (in 4Gen) and MienShao (in 5Gen - but a normal one, not a Hidden Grotto one, so it didn't have Regenerate).

Shinycham looks pretty rad, and I gave it a decent moveset too, IIRC. I mean, for single play. So "high accuracy high damage moves of different Types but nothing weird".
After I transferred Cena* (the Machoke) to Diamond, I made sure to trade it to evolve.

I rocked a lot of Ruby with a Medicham that had Hi Jump Kick.
Even used it in the Battle Tower to make it past Battle #50.
Then the Walrein hit me with Sheer Cold.
Twice in a row.

Seriously, I'm happy to match skills and strategy with enemies on an even field.
But it's like a DM realizing his encounter's about the be rolled and having halflings bust out +1 longbows when they had been using slings.

In general, I've never been able to give a damn about the "fight a crapload of opponents at a fixed level with none of the benefits of normally battling" challenges.
The most important part of having a level system is being able to level up.

Battling is my least favourite part of the games. I'd much rather run around toppling criminal organizations and catching sweet monster battle-slaves. Going through a shit load of battles for no real reward is just tedious.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

Here, here.
On a related note, going back to shiny Pokymans, the only shiny pokemon that I caught in the wild was a shiny Geodude in Emerald that is now a shiny Golem in Soulsilver (I pal-parked it).
Also in SoulSilver, I have a shiny Mew (I call it Blueberry 'cause it's blue), and a shiny Arceus (I call it God 'cause it is literally God. And because it's all golden and shit).
I totally did not get those last two by having a friend spawn them in their game with an AR and then trade them over to me. No, I totally got them through legit means.
Just like I got to the truck in Red without the use of an AR.
Because I never cheat. EVER.

Funny enough, one of my favorite features ever was the Secret Bases in Ruby/Sapphire.
Seriously, I'd totally have my own tree house.

It's not hard to get to the truck in Red/Blue. You just need to trade for a Pokemon that knows Cut, so that you can skip meeting the captain in the SS Anne. Then you head back later when you have Surf and Strength available.

Fuck yeah! Secret Bases were the best feature in any Pokemon game, second only to the walking Pokemon feature in HG/SS.

Maybe the Hidden Grottoes are abandoned Secret Bases.
Speaking of which, on my way to work, there is what I swear looks just like a Hidden Grotto. Though investigating it (of course I did) reveals an entrance to the sewers, which might be a Secret Base point? I couldn't find any pokemon, not even common ones.

I would have enjoyed it more if it were in a game that wasn't RSE. Also it's kind of a pain to have to Fly back to the nearest town then wander out to the nearby woods or mountains or whatever every time you want to go there. They should have made Teleport useful by making it:
IF (you have a base)
THEN (go there)
ELSE (go to town last visited)
Or just added your base as a Flight destination. Whatever.

So, in case people haven't heard, another XY pokemon has been revealed:
It's pretty obvious that there's a connection to Mewtwo. Apparently it's a new form.
I'm not sure if I consider that a gyp or not...

So, I've been playing Crystal again, and I had forgotten how much I loved the game.
Anyway, I was listening to Prof. Oak's Pokemon Talk Show, y'know, the one where Oak rattles off where different Pokemon can be found while Mary provides commentary? Well, there was one comment of Mary's that was awesome:
"WEEDLE is so sensually friendly!"
I totally lost it.
